The man laughed boisterously.
"Not much you won't; you iist keep

Then Jim muttered to himself:

Skete's toe big a coward to attempt to
escape, and if he did he'd never find

Thus 1t happened that Skete was

that was that he must escape and find
his beloved mistress; that he must tell
her the secret he held, before he died.

Under the shade OF bunch of small
mountain-pines Skete crawled, and
after light dinner went soundly to
sleep. How long he slept he knew
not, but he was suddenly awakened
by the sound of voices. Peeping out
from his hiding place, he beheld a
party of Indians near, sitting around a
fire and chatting amicably together as
they smoked their pipes; but as they
spoke in the Indian tongue Skete could
not understand word they said. In
great terror he drew back his head and
remained motionless, hoping to escape
detection.
The Indians-there were ten of them

they cooked their dinner and ate it
leisurely, and appeared to be in no
hurry to move on. Poor Skete lay
under the shadow of the pines, pray

humping so loudly he wondered they
did not hear it.

over his foot, and, to his indescribable

glance toward its glittering eyes and

Though the keeping OF flock of fowls

Veterinary Professor Sansan has ana
lived and reported upon the cakes or bis
cults having sawdust for base, intended as
food for cattle, and horses in particular.
1t is an ailment not new to Germany. This
aliment has for chief ingredient very fine
red sawdust, acted upon by muriatic acid
a powerful digesting agent. The cakes
are thin, eight to ten inches in diameter,
and weigh about one pound. In two SAM
pies the biscuit was mixed with bran and
oats. No one of course expects that saw
dust alone could be utilized as food; it is
too poor in protein, but it can act by "bal-
lasting" the digestive apparatus: giving it
the required volume for working.
As stomach ballast, sawdust could
then enter into competition with inferior
straWs. Chemically the biscuits were not
nutritively richer than hay, while in point
of dlgestibility they were inferior. In
case OF cavalry when campaigning,
whore economical rations are desirable,
there would be required forty -one pounds
of the oats sawduSt cake of it bran
TO equal ten pounds of hay ana the
same weight of oats. Now horses or the
war-path must be laden with us few heavy
weights rs possible. The weight OF the
cakes could be reduced by dessication and
volume by the introduction of some highly
concentrated aliment. Tie biscuits should
be estimated ut the same value as that of
medium hay. Sawdust can be eaten with
out danger by horses. Tho omnibus COM
pany, when they employed that substance
for litter, never prevented the horses from
eating it-that which did them no harm.
In Swenden, very fine larch sawdust is en-
ployed with advantage, instead of chopped
straw, and mixed with sliced maugolds for
/. bullockS and dairy stock.
